You may have noticed a slight deviation from the usual dm colour palette of green, white and neutrals to include turquoise.  Well now I’ve embraced several shades of this delicious colour and have found myself surprised by just how uplifting this colour can be.

Last week I showed you the new turquoise additions to the backroom

and this week I have new cushions

I’ve been following the blog of a designer who has just released her first range of fabrics.  I’ve previously posted about her here, and you can buy fabrics here

So as it turns out it was actually this fabric that inspired the changes in the backroom

I used a plain fabric on the back (linen from Ikea) and check out the colour match!  Like Caitlin I chose a simple cushion without any extra trim, frills, cord or braids – the fabric just doesn’t need it.

I’ve also trimmed my new lamps with ric-rac.  It mightn’t be to everyone’s taste, but I love a bit of kitsch

now back to making xmas presents!
